Dodgers News: Russell Martin Motivated To Prove Critics Wrong

Heading into the offseason it was considered unlikely that Yasmani Grandal would remain with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2019 and potentially beyond. That became a stronger sentiment when he declined the one-year, $17.9 million qualifying offer from the club.

The Dodgers’ search for a starting catcher linked them to the likes of Francisco Cervelli, Yan Gomes and J.T. Realmuto. A potential trade for Cervelli reportedly didn’t gain much traction, while the Cleveland Indians sent Gomes to the Washington Nationals.

The Dodgers remained among the teams most often linked to Realmuto, but the Miami Marlins continue to have a high asking price for their All-Star backstop.
